Article Synopsis
- Primary liver cancer has three main types: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and combined hepatocellular carcinoma, which often lead to poor prognosis and high mortality rates, making early detection crucial.
- The study aimed to explore the expression of Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in HCC, CCA, and liver cirrhosis using 446 tissue samples, analyzed through immunohistochemistry by certified pathologists.
- Results showed that PSMA expression was significantly higher in HCC compared to CCA and was rare in liver cirrhosis, indicating a correlation between PSMA levels and the advancement of liver cancer stages, especially higher scores in more advanced cases
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance the effectiveness of F-FDG PET/CT scans for diagnosing fever of unknown origin (FUO) and inflammation of unknown origin (IUO) in Chinese patients by integrating clinical parameters.
- A total of 253 FUO/IUO patients were analyzed, revealing that specific clinical parameters significantly improved the accuracy of diagnoses, particularly in groups with local uptake lesions and non-specific uptake.
- The combination of clinical factors increased diagnostic accuracy for malignancy and infection predictions, showcasing the importance of integrating clinical data with imaging results.
